Pedestrians and bicyclists hit by motor vehicles may suffer serious injuries or death. At Martin And Associates, our pedestrian accident attorneys seek compensation for families and individuals hurt in a knockdown accident. The law provides payment for medical bills, lost wages, and other costs of a pedestrian accident caused by the negligence of another. Our attorneys take on large insurance companies in their efforts to obtain maximum compensation for victims. Contact us to learn how we can help you. Children are especially vulnerable to pedestrian accidents. They run into the street after balls, turn their bikes into traffic without warning, and walk between parked cars.

 

Drivers of motor vehicles have an obligation to look out for children. Our lawyers have helped many families devastated by the injury or death of a child in an accident.  Cities with lots of traffic, parked cars, and pedestrians, are not the only place where pedestrian accidents occur. Rural areas seldom have sidewalks or adequate shoulders; the speed limits are higher than in a city. As a result, the countryside sees more than its fair share of catastrophic and fatal pedestrian accidents. When hit on a country road, pedestrians, bicyclists, and horse riders are usually seriously injured or killed because of the high speeds. Our law firm has helped people injured and the families of those killed because drivers were:

 

Driving while intoxicated
Turning right at a stop sign without stopping
Speeding in a school zone
Passing a stopped school bus
Driving too close to the shoulder
Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk or intersection
Running a red light
